#224 - Chapter 34: Night of Chaos (Part 3)

Rewind twenty minutes. Liu Yuan had killed the guards at the middle city gate, summoned five hundred soldiers to defend the area, and then headed alone to the Undying Temple in the outer city.

He was quite familiar with the route this time. The Undying Temple had lost its heart, the divine heart energy supply, and many of the magic arrays had failed. The rooms filled with illusions had returned to normal. Liu Yuan went straight to the sixth floor, where the corpses of male witches lay scattered behind him. He flicked his horizontal blade, splattering the blood on it against the wall.

He grabbed a male witch by the neck with his left hand, staring at him as he asked, "Tell me, where did you take the young dragons?"

The male witch coughed. "Cough, cough… The dragons were captured by Phea, and it has nothing to do with us. The dragons… the dragons… are locked in the sacrificial hall above. Phea is there too. Please… let me go…"

Liu Yuan smiled contemptuously. "Aren't you calling me a mortal now? You were the first to attack me. Weren't you quite arrogant just now? I still prefer your rebellious attitude. Since you've confessed honestly, I'll give you a quick death." He twisted the witch’s neck with a flick of his left hand, and the corpse fell to the ground. Ignoring his directions, Liu Yuan went to the seventh floor. The sacrificial hall was quite conspicuous, with various sacrificial patterns carved on the central door.

He pushed open the door. In the center of the room was an earth-yellow stone platform. Three young dragons were chained to it. The little dragons cried out in distress when they saw him.

Liu Yuan walked over. Just as he reached out to touch the young dragons, he suddenly noticed shackles on his right wrist, then his left hand, left foot, and right ankle were also bound by steel fetters.

A cold voice sounded behind him. "I didn't expect the Dragon Mother wouldn't come, but a Dragon Father did. Mr., you must be Commander-in-Chief Galon! I've heard of your legends, but you are ultimately just a mortal." Phea's figure emerged from behind each pillar, fifteen clones in all.

Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes, scanning the room. "A very exquisite cloning technique. I didn't even notice which one is the real body."

Phea's clones merged one by one, forming a single person. "Then I'll give you a chance to become my most loyal servant. I will lead you to experience the charm of magic, a transcendent world."

Liu Yuan ignored him, opened his arms, and picked up the three young dragons. The chains that bound the little dragons were also snapped by him.

"Damn it!" Phea was enraged by Liu Yuan's attitude. He angrily pulled the mechanism. The winch made a "creak, creak" sound as the chains tightened, pulling on the shackles on Liu Yuan's limbs. But he didn't care, just yanked back forcefully, and the chains snapped.

Phea opened his mouth wide. Is this still a human? A humanoid dragon! Without hesitation, he turned to run. But the door was tightly closed, and no matter how he pulled, he couldn't open it.

Liu Yuan said playfully, "Heh heh ~ So this is your real body! I heard you're very interested in dragons. These three are too small to study anything. I'll let you see a real dragon."

Although Phea was a little confused, he quickly chanted a spell, and a cloud of purple mist slowly gathered in front of him.

Liu Yuan swiped his right hand forcefully in the void, and a blue crack appeared out of thin air. The blue light gradually expanded, forming a space channel about five meters in diameter.

"Thump ~ Thump, thump ~" Accompanied by a strong and powerful heartbeat, a tremor from the depths of the soul came. Phea clutched his chest and fell to his knees, staring in terror at the terrifying and狰狞 golden dragon head that gradually emerged from the space channel.

"Dracarys!" Liu Yuan issued the command. Leviathan paused for a moment, then opened its huge mouth. Special gases were produced by pore-like organs in its throat, and finally sprayed out of the dragon's mouth. The dragon flame spewed by different dragons would also have different colors. The common dragon flame recorded was black with a slight red tint. Leviathan's dragon flame was light gold with a hint of orange-red. Liu Yuan had carefully studied the power of the dragon flame, which came not only from the burning of the fire but also from the elemental power integrated into the dragon itself. It was like a high-pressure water cannon with great impact force, and it would explode when the concentration reached a certain level, and the power would increase with the dragon's age and size.

The two-meter-thick breath instantly burned Phea into ashes, along with the door behind him, the corridor, the walls…

The residents of Quells' outer city were fortunate enough to see this peculiar sight. The upper part of the Undying Temple, which had stood there for who knows how many years, was suddenly gone for the most part. Golden-red flames spewed into the air and did not subside for a long time.

"Woo ~ Hoo ~ Hoo, hoo… cough, cough, cough!" Leviathan seemed to have finished spitting and coughed a few times before stopping its dragon breath. It glanced sideways at the young dragons in Liu Yuan's arms, who were frightened. "Hmph ~" It snorted a puff of thick smoke from its nose in dissatisfaction.

Liu Yuan glanced at it. "It's none of your business. Go back!" Leviathan reluctantly retracted its head back into the space channel, and with a wave of Liu Yuan's hand, the blue space door contracted and gradually disappeared. Liu Yuan looked at the still-hot walls, or rather, the ruins. A large number of buildings and materials were blown away, and even the previous stairwell was blown away. Great! He burned the way back himself.

Oh well, it's already night anyway, so I'll just stay a little longer and wait for those semi-melted stones to re-solidify. Following this direction, he could see that several places in the middle city, which was one level higher than the outer city, were on fire.

Xaro personally led the mercenaries to the mansions of the other magnates in the city, for which he had been preparing for two months. He had nearly nine thousand mercenaries and armed servants at his disposal. Xaro divided several teams to attack the mansions of the Thirteen. He also sent out two thousand people who had been ambushed long ago to block the entrances and exits of the inner city, moving a large amount of debris to directly block the Gates of the Gods.

Even the most elite camel cavalry directly under the royal family in the inner city could not rush out. Xaro then personally led two thousand people to the inner city's patrol camp. This was one of the few city guards in Quells, formed by the city council and usually under the jurisdiction of the Thirteen.

As long as Xaro controlled this army, with more than ten thousand soldiers in his hands, he would be qualified to negotiate with the royal family in the inner city and reshuffle the power structure of Quells.

More importantly, Xaro could concentrate all the wealth and power of the Thirteen under one person, himself. When that time came, he would be able to obtain more power. He believed that as long as he was given enough time, he could definitely change the existing situation and become the true King of Quells.
